    Furuno NX300 Navtex - Alternative antennas?

    I have a Furuno NX300 display head which I’d like to install but a genuine Furuno antenna costs ( part number NX-3H-D) in the region of £250. Does anyone know whether I could use a cheaper option of antenna to get the thing to work? For example the NASA antenna?

    Best 3.5hp outboard?

    My 2015 Honda 2.3 outboard has been condemned by the outboard engineer at Cobbs Quay. Apparently requires a new carburettor plus labour an can’t guarantee longevity of repair even after that. So I think it’s sensible for me to buy a new outboard for the tender/dinghy. What do forumites recommend...

    Fibreglass Moulding

    This is a solidly made moulding I’d planned to adapt to house a sailing instrument. I think it’s probably designed to inset into the cockpit coaming to be used to store bric a brac. I don’t need it and I’m having a clear out. Maybe you could think of a use for it? £15 + pp.

    Habitent - Mistral (I think)

    I purchased this Habitent from another forumite. It was secondhand when I purchased it and I was assured it was in good condition and complete. I actually can’t rember what model of Habitent it was but fairly sure it’s the Mistral model. I bought it for my 27 foot sailing boat and I believe it...

    Anemo handheld wind Anemometer

    This came with my boat which is now sold. The original box is in a very “distressed” state but the anemometer is like new condition wise! There are no instructions on its use but it looks very simple to fathom out yourself. No idea what it’s worth - say £30 + pp?

The auto route function of the Navionics software displays the suggested route in purple as far as the Wareham Channel and then switches to display the...

    NMEA Socket on rear of Raymarine Plotter

    I’m sure everyone except myself will know the answer to this! What 5 pin plug do I need to buy to fit into the 5 pin NMEA moulded socket on the rear of a Raymarine C80 chartplotter? I won’t be using the RS125 GPS Seatalk antenna and want to replace it with a cheapo eBay version which all seem...

    Raymarine C80 Date Error

    This appears to be a common problem but I’d like to ask, is the error caused by the antenna (RS125) or by the internal workings of the display unit? In short, will replacing the GPS antenna fix the problem?

    Chinese Heater - another thread

    Is anyone using a Hcalory 12V 5KW-8KW Diesel Air Heater to warm their boat? I don’t want nor need a fully plumbed in heater, just something reliable I can stand in the cockpit and pipe the heat through a short length of ducking into the cabin of my 27 feet sailboat. This model being sold by...

    Navpod 5060 instrument housing - New (eBay listing)

    This is an unused & uncut genuine Navpod for mounting sailing instruments on a flat surface. The base swivels so probably better suited to power than sail. I ended up purchasing a job lot of assorted Navpods in order to acquire the one I actually wanted and this is the last one I need to sell...

    Airmar Transducer Through Hull tightening tool

    Is there a tool to fit the circular plastic nut which is used to tighten the through hull against the hull after applying the sealant? I don’t have enough grip to tighten the nut by hand. The nut I’m describing is the one with the ‘nibs’ moulded to it that tightens down onto a rubber washer...

    Tidal Moorings

    Am toying with the idea of keeping my boat on the Itchen River (Southampton) next season. She’s a small Dufour 2800 with shallow draft and a bulb keel. She has an excellent Beta 16 engine installed which I’m anxious to maintain in good order as all my previously owned boats have been “project”...

    Please identify these fuses

    Here is a picture of my switch panel on my Dufour 2800. As you can see its A 9 switch panel with only 5 in use. I’d like to buy 4 more switches/fuses to mount in the vacant holes, what should I be looking for and where can I source them please?
